A good friend and former CVPS coworker of Bill’s called us from Florida this week to remind us of the birthday and tell us that Bill is doing well and “doesn’t look a day over 70.” Happy Birthday, Bill!

In new location, festival still a success By  MARY  LANGWORTHY MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  36th  annual  Festival  on-­the-­Green  was  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;tremendous  success,â&#x20AC;?  said  festival  Board  President  David  Andrews,  GHVSLWH WKH LQLWLDO VFKHGXOLQJ FRQĂ&#x20AC;LFWV that  resulted  in  the  event  actually  being  held  off  the  green  at  the  Middlebury  Recreation  Park.  The  festival  concluded  on  Saturday,  July  12,  after  a  week  of  concerts,  childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  activities,  and  general  UHYHOU\ $QGUHZV FRQÂżUPHG WKDW WKH QHZ YHQXH ZDV D JUHDW ÂżW IRU WKH HYHQW â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  had  a  wonderful  program  and  great  attendance,â&#x20AC;?  Andrews  said,  adding  that  the  AnaĂŻs  Mitchell,  Le  Vent  du  Nord,  and  Josh  Panda  and  the  Hot  Damned  shows  were  particularly  well  attended.  Andrews  said  that  â&#x20AC;&#x153;one  nasty  weather  situationâ&#x20AC;?  on  Tuesday  night  EULHĂ&#x20AC;\ LQWHUIHUHG ZLWK WKH IXQ :LQG blew  out  the  back  of  the  tent  and  the  top  was  blown  upwards,  moving  the  support  poles.  Necessary  repairs  were  made,  and  the  shows  proceeded  successfully  the  next  night,  though  a  noon  show  was  postponed  until  later  in  the  week.  Pulling  off  such  an  event  is  not  without  its  tribulations,  of  course.  Andrews,  who  is  in  his  third  year  as  president  of  the  festival  board,  acknowledged  that  planning  for  the  venue  change  was  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;confusing  VLWXDWLRQ´ DW ÂżUVW

The  festival  was  moved  off  the  green  because  last  fall  the  organizers  received  notice  that  construction  on  the  railroad  underpasses  around  the  green  would  be  under  way  this  summer  and  that  the  green  would  be  taken  up  by  staging  for  that  work.

The  construction  ended  up  being  postponed  a  year,  but  since  the  event  had  already  been  publicized  as  being  held  off  the  green,  the  board  chose  to  stick  with  the  Recreation  Park  plan.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  festival  will  likely  stay  at  the  Rec.  Park  for  the  next  couple  of  years  due  to  the  bridge  work,â&#x20AC;?  said  Andrews.

The  new  venue  also  required  infrastructure  changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  had  to  restructure  the  stage  to  make  it  higher,  which  was  a  challenge,â&#x20AC;?  Andrews  said.  The  stage  at  the  Rec.  Park  was  30  inches  high,  about  twice  as  high  as  the  one  previously  used  at  the  green.  Other  community  organizations  also  vie  for  space  downtown  in  early  July  for  events  such  as  the  St.  Stephenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Church  Peasant  Market  sale  and  the  Lions  Club  Barbecue,  and  Andrews  said  that  the  new  venue  has  the  added  EHQHÂżW RI QRW LQWHUIHULQJ ZLWK WKRVH organizationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  plans.  Pat  Boera,  formerly  of  Middlebury  and  currently  of  Burlington,  is  the  secretary  of  the  board  and  has  been  involved  with  the  festival  since  it  started.  Although  she  acknowledged  that  the  new  venue  saw  a  reduced Â

Boera  said  that  she  particularly  enjoyed  watching  the  whole  crowd,  including  people  up  into  their  90s,  dance  at  the  Wednesday  evening  concert  featuring  the  band  Matuto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  think  anyone  was  sitting,â&#x20AC;?  Boera  recalled.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;And  that  is  a  magical  thing.â&#x20AC;?

If  something  looks,  smells  and  feels  too  good  to  be  true,  wisdom  tells  us  that  it  probably  is.

Gaz  MÊtro  has  us  in  their  sights  and  are  blinding  us  with  illusion.

Use  insect  repellent  responsibly.  Remember,  mosquitoes  are  most  active  in  early  morning  and  in  the  early  evening  past  sunset.  Mosqui toes  also  seek  shelter  in  tall  grasses  and  in  forests.  Also,  mosquitoes  breed  in  outside  containers;Íž  i.e.,  dog  dishes,  birdbaths,  clogged  gutters,  tires,  etc.  â&#x20AC;Ś  emptying  these  recep tacles  or  refreshing  water  on  a  daily  basis  will  reduce  the  risk  of  breed ing  mosquitoes  on  your  property.

Be  smart,  be  safe  and  enjoy  sum mer.  Fight  the  bite.

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  note:  The  following  letter  was  presented  to  the  Addison  County  Regional  Planning  Commis-­ sion  on  June  11.

I  believe  that  we  all  have  obliga tions  to  our  constituents,  to  our  fellow  commissioners  and  to  the  integrity  of  the  Addison  County  Regional  Planning  Commission  to  conduct  our  proceedings  in  a  civil  manner  and  to  assess  the  factual  material  presented  to  us.  It  is  for  this  reason  that  I  raise  concerns  regarding  our  recent  vote  whether  the  Phase  II  pipeline  proposal  was  in  conformance  with  all  applicable  provisions  of  our  regional  plan.

We  have  discussed  Goal  D,  2EMHFW E ZKLFK VWDWHV ÂłIRU QR ODUJH scale  energy  generation  or  transmis sion  facilities,  which  have  as  their  primary  purpose  providing  energy  to  markets  outside  the  Addison  Re gion,  to  be  constructed  or  expanded  in  the  region.â&#x20AC;?  This  provision  was  placed  in  our  plan  primarily  in  response  to  the  VELCO  project.  However,  subsequent  to  its  inclu sion  in  our  regional  plan,  attempts  to  delete  it  failed.

The  most  remarkable  statement  in  the  minutes  of  a  report  to  the  full  commission  from  the  Utilities,  Facilities  and  Service  Committee  IURP -DQ LV ÂłWKH FRPPLW tee  felt  that  this  statement  was  the  most  powerful  tool  available  to  the  RPC  if  the  future  VELCO  goes  back  to  the  PSB  with  a  plan  to  upgrade  the  line  from  New  Haven  through  Monkton,  or  if  another  project,  like  the  gas  pipeline,  is  ever  proposed.â&#x20AC;?  The  committee  strengthened  the  provision  by  substituting  the  word  â&#x20AC;&#x153;energyâ&#x20AC;?  for  â&#x20AC;&#x153;power.â&#x20AC;?  The  full  com PLVVLRQ RQ 2FW GHIHDWHG a  motion  to  delete  Goal  D,  objective  b,  from  the  regional  plan.

These  actions  appear  to  satisfy  the  Vermont  Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  goal  â&#x20AC;&#x153;to  assure  that  decisions  shall  be  made  at  the  most  local  level  possible.â&#x20AC;?

The  issues  of  â&#x20AC;&#x153;orderly  develop-­ mentâ&#x20AC;?  and  â&#x20AC;&#x153;undue  adverse  impactâ&#x20AC;?  must  be  addressed.  The  Phase  II  pipeline  project  if  completed  will  create  a  brand  new  utility  corridor  through  Cornwall  and  Shoreham  and  under  Lake  Champlain.  This Â

in  effect  creates  interstate  com-­ merce  and  the  governance  of  this  utility  corridor  can  shift  to  a  federal  agency  (FERC).  Vermont  and  our  commission  can  lose  control  of  the  orderly  development  or  our  region  and  can  be  subject  to  further  undue  adverse  impact.

The  ACRPC  should  follow  its  regional  plan  as  written  so  that  in  the  future  the  regional  plan  can  be  defended.  We  have  an  obligation  to  another  generation  of  commission-­ ers  to  establish  a  viable  precedent.

Starksboro recyclers win regional award By  ZACH  DESPART STARKSBORO  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Three  Robinson  Elementary  sixth-­graders  introduced  a  composting  program  at  the  school  this  past  year  that  changed  the  schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ap-­ proach  to  recycling.  In  June  they  were  singled  out  for  honors  among  students  in  Vermont,  New  Hampshire,  Maine,  Connecticut  and  Massachusetts.  Emma  Campbell,  Addy  Harris  and  Abby  Iliff  were  named  the  2013-­2014  student  recyclers  of  the  year  at  the  Northeast  Resource  Recovery  Asso-­ ciationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  annual  recycling  conference  held  June  10  in  Manchester,  N.H. The  three  began  a  composting  pro-­ gram  at  the  school  last  fall,  and  also  stepped  up  studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  recycling. Âł,Q WKH ÂżUVW ZHHN RI VFKRRO ZH QR-­ ticed  they  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  a  recycling  bin,  and  our  compost  was  going  into  the  trash,â&#x20AC;?  Iliff  said.

The  trio  approached  principal  Pat-­ rick  Harnett  about  starting  a  compost-­ ing  program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  decided  to  try  and  change  the  system,  so  we  had  a  talk  with  our  prin-­ cipal  and  came  up  with  a  list  of  ideas  that  we  tried  out,â&#x20AC;?  Campbell  said.

Principal  Patrick  Harnett  said  he  was  impressed  but  not  surprised  with  the  initiative  the  students  showed  when  they  pitched  the  idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  approached  me  with  the  idea  of  giving  up  all  of  their  recess  time  to  teach  the  younger  kids  how  to  sort  the  materials  correctly,â&#x20AC;?  Hartnett  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  insisted  that  they  take  half  the  recess  time  for  themselves.â&#x20AC;?

Harnett  arranged  for  the  trio  to  dem-­ onstrate  composting  at  the  weekly  school-­wide  assembly.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  approached  it  in  a  360-­de-­ gree  way,  from  education  to  modeling  to  giving  up  their  own  time,â&#x20AC;?  Harnett  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  even  did  the  dirty  work  of  reaching  down  into  the  food  waste  to  pull  out  something  that  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  belong.â&#x20AC;?

The  students  stayed  in  from  recess  for  15  minutes  every  day  to  help  sort  trash  and  recycling  after  lunch.  A  local  farmer  volunteered  to  take  the  com-­ post  and  feed  it  to  his  pigs  and  chick-­ ens.  Iliff  and  Campbell  estimated  that  the  group  diverted  one  bag  of  trash  IURP WKH ODQGÂżOO HYHU\ GD\ School  cafeteria  staff  provided  classrooms  with  yogurt  and  cheese  containers  to  use  as  compost  buck-­ ets.  Campbell,  Harris  and  Iliff  also  educated  different  classes  on  how  to  compost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  labeled  the  buckets  and  set  them  out  in  classrooms,  and  did  dem-­ onstrations  for  all  the  classes,â&#x20AC;?  Camp-­ bell  said.  The  group  also  rewarded  students  who  participated  in  composting.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;To  help  the  younger  kids  remember,  we  started  out  giving  out  stickers,â&#x20AC;?  Iliff  said.  And  the  group  also  made  signs  WKDW ODXGHG FRPSRVWLQJ EHQHÂżWV â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  saves  our  environment,  and  also  saves  money,â&#x20AC;?  Iliff  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  throwing  away  trash,  it  costs  money  at  the  dump.â&#x20AC;?

Campbell  said  the  trioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  homeroom  teacher,  Elizabeth  Greenberg,  nomi-­ nated  them  for  the  award.  Campbell  said  she  was  surprised  to  win  the  prize,  given  that  so  many  students  around  Vermont  are  environmentally  con-­ scious.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  was  surprised  because  in  Ver-­

The  mentor  relationship  is  one  way  in  which  this  areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  middle  aged  and  elderly  demographic  can  work  in  its  favor.  Many  Addison  County  residents  have  backgrounds  and  ex-­ perience  that  could  be  invaluable  to  young  people  looking  for  advice  and  direction  as  they  join  the  working  world.  In  networking  and  applying  for  jobs,  what  is  often  most  inter-­ esting  for  people  in  my  position  is  not  having  people  ask  how  they  can  help  me,  but  asking  them,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;What  did  you  do  when  you  were  in  my  posi-­ tion?  How  did  that  shape  your  career  choices;Íž  in  hindsight,  what  might  you  do  differently?â&#x20AC;?

This  is  obviously  a  two-­way  street:  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  easy  for  college  students  to  spend  four  years  in  this  area  wearing  blind-­ ers,  oblivious  to  the  opportunities  surrounding  them  as  they  line  up  in-­

The  most  concrete  example  of  lo-­ cal  learning  I  have  comes  from  last  summer.  On  a  scorching,  muggy  day  in  early  July,  I  was  bush  hogging  a  pasture  in  Shoreham  on  a  seriously  vintage  International  Harvester  when  I  ran  out  of  diesel  fuel.  Turns  out  diesel  engines  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  self-­prim-­ ing,  so  I  spent  the  next  6  or  7  hours Â

Now  that  Campbell,  Iliff  and  Harris  (who  was  away  at  camp  and  unavail-­ able  to  comment)  have  graduated  from  Robinson  Elementary  and  will  attend  Mount  Abraham  Union  Middle/High  School  next  year,  they  have  recruited  a  new  group  of  students  to  continue  the  program  at  their  alma  mater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three-­quarters  into  the  school  year,  we  realized  we  werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  going  to  be  there  another  year,  so  we  asked  for  volunteers  to  take  on  the  composting  project,â&#x20AC;?  Campbell  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  trained  those  students,  and  hopefully  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  pass  it  on  to  someone,  too.â&#x20AC;?

Iliff  said  she  is  excited  to  attend  Mount  Abraham,  especially  because  the  school  is  in  the  process  of  building  an  on-­site  composting  facility.

Harnett,  on  the  other  hand,  said  it  is  with  regret  that  he  says  goodbye  to  the  students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  often  wonder  about  the  next  generation  of  leaders,  and  these  are  three  of  the  kids  that  give  you  great  FRQÂżGHQFH LQ WKH IXWXUH ´ +DUQHWW said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  is  the  very  beginning  of  a  lifelong  endeavor  for  them,  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  continue  to  do  projects  that  DUH VHOĂ&#x20AC;HVV WKURXJKRXW WKHLU OLYHV Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  miss  them  tremen-­ dously.â&#x20AC;?

Prior  to  retiring  he  had  established  himself  as  a  major  expedition  leader  with  the  Appalachian  Mountain  Club.  For  many  years  during  retirement  he  and  his  wife,  Susan,  led  numerous  ski  and  bicycle  trips  in  the  United  States  and  Europe.  After  retirement, Â

In  2006,  residents  voted  for  more  zoning  changes,  which  did  not  affect  the  Bristol  Recreation  Club  land.  These  changes,  unlike  those  approved  by  voters  in  2004,  were  made  on  town  zoning  maps.

In  2012,  Bristol  residents  approved  a  new  town  plan,  which  included  zoning  maps  without  the  2004  changes.

Resident  Ken  Weston  brought  the  discrepancy  to  the  attention  of  the  selectboard  at  a  June  12  public  meeting  on  the  proposed  firehouse  site.

Town  Administrator  Therese  Campbell  said  that  according  to  town  zoning  statutes,  the  plan-­ ning  commission  is  charged  with  resolving  any  zoning  inconsisten-­ cies.  The  planning  commission  has  since  ruled  that  the  town  should  treat  the  Recreation  Club  property  as  both  recreation  and  ROC. Monday  evening,  the  select-­ board  decided  to  seek  a  formal  legal  opinion  from  town  attorney  Kevin  Brennan  on  how  to  treat  the  zoning  for  the  Recreation  Club.

Campbell  said  Tuesday  that  was  done  out  of  an  abundance  of  caution.  Before  beginning  talks  with  the  Recreation  Club  to  purchase  some  of  its  land  for  a  new  firehouse,  Campbell  said,  the  town  wants  to  make  sure  it  is  standing  on  strong  legal  footing.

 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  trying  to  clarify  at  this  point  what  the  selectboard  should  do  next,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  order  to  be  sure  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  negotiating  with  the  Recreation  Club  in  good  faith,  we  need  to  have  it  sorted  out.â&#x20AC;?

Campbell  said  she  hopes  to  have  an  answer  from  Brennan  in  time  for  the  next  selectboard  meeting  on  July  28.

NEW  FIRE  EQUIPMENT The  selectboard  also  on  Monday  authorized  the  fire  department  to  spend  funds  on  new  equipment.

Bristol  Fire  Department  Chief  Brett  LaRose  said  that  some  of  the  companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  equipment  was  aging  and  needed  to  be  replaced.  Some  of  the  departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hydraulic  tools,  used  for  vehicle  extrication,  are  more  than  a  quarter-­century  old.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  is  time,â&#x20AC;?  LaRose  said,  noting  that  the  department  had  to  pull  out  of  service  â&#x20AC;&#x153;25-­year-­old  tools  â&#x20AC;Ś  due  to  safety  issues.â&#x20AC;?  The  total  cost  of  the  hydraulic  tools  is  $21,807.

The  department  will  also  buy  new  breathing  apparatus  cylinders.  LaRose  said  the  cylinders  have  a  shelf  life  of  15  years,  and  that  two  recently  passed  that  mark.  The  cylinders  are  $800  each.

LaRose  said  he  believes  it  is  a  good  practice  for  the  department  to  ask  the  selectboard  to  appropriate  funds  every  time  equipment  needs  to  be  replaced,  rather  than  defer-­ ring  costs.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  are  trying  to  stagger  the  purchase  of  these  big-­ticket  items,â&#x20AC;?  LaRose  said.

have  already  been  budgeted  in  the  fire  department  capital  fund.  LaRose  said  that  even  though  the  funds  have  already  been  approved  by  voters,  he  feels  it  is  important  to  ask  the  selectboard  to  OK  every  use  of  taxpayer  money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even  though  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  already  been  appropriated,  we  still  go  before  the  board  to  seek  the  OK,â&#x20AC;?  LaRose  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  never  like  to  assume  its  OK  to  spend  money  without  the  selectboardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  permission.â&#x20AC;?

The  selectboard  also  gave  permission  to  LaRose  to  sell  the  departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  1972  fire  engine,  which  is  no  longer  in  service.  LaRose  said  the  truck  is  not  currently  safe  to  drive,  as  the  brakes  are  worn  and  parts  are  hard  to  come  by  on  a  42-­year-­old  fire  truck.

LaRose  said  he  plans  to  list  the  truck  on  Craigslist  for  $2,000.  If  no  buyer  makes  an  offer,  LaRose  said  the  department  will  look  into  selling  the  vehicle  for  scrap.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  one  of  our  primary  apparatus,  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  time  we  part  ways  with  it.â&#x20AC;?

July  also  marks  a  shuffling  of  chairs  within  the  town  municipal  offices.  Campbell,  the  former  town  clerk  and  treasurer,  assumed  her  duties  as  the  new  town  adminis-­ trator.  Jen  Stetson,  who  formerly  served  as  an  administrative  assis-­ tant,  has  succeeded  Campbell  as  town  clerk  and  treasurer.

Campbell  said  she  and  other  town  officials  will  soon  conduct  interviews  to  hire  a  new  assistant,  and  hope  to  make  a  recommenda-­ tion  to  the  selectboard  by  July  28.

Alcoholism  research  group  awarded  study  grant

MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Middlebury-­based  Foundation  for  Alcoholism  Research  (FAR),  announces  the  award  of  a  pilot  program  grant  for  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baclofen  for  Alcohol  Dependence  (BFAD):  A  Neuroimaging  Studyâ&#x20AC;?  to  research  the  effects  of  a  potentially  ground-­ breaking  anti-­craving  medica-­ tion  called  baclofen.  The  grant,  issued  to  the  Perelman  School  of  Medicine  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  will  provide  fund-­ ing  for  a  study  performing  early  steps  to  help  establish  the  useful-­ ness  of  baclofen  to  reduce  the   craving  for  alcohol.   About  two  years  ago,  baclofen  appeared  on  FARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  horizon  and,  after  considerable  reading  and  inquiring,  the  board  of  directors  determined  that  a  baclofen  study  was  the  area  for  the  next  grant.  Since  then,  FAR  has  been  work-­ ing  to  raise  the  necessary  funds  for  this  study.  Large  funding  for  studying  baclofen  for  tobacco  and  marijuana  use  disorders  has  been  granted  previously  by  others,  but  not  for  alcohol  addiction.  Together  with  the  research  team  undertak-­ ing  this  new  study,  FAR  sees  great  value  and  promise  in  studying  this  medication  to  help  those  afflicted  with  addiction,  including  alcohol.

Pharmaceutical  companies  lack  interest  in  researching  the  effects  of  baclofen  for  addiction,  possi-­ bly  because  the  medication  is  now Â

Lead  investigators  on  this  study  will  be  Drs.  Teresa  Franklin  and  Reagan  Wetherill  in  the  Department  of  Psychiatry  at  the  Center  for  the  Studies  of  Addiction.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  are  excited  about  this  research  and  so  grateful  to  FAR  for  its  support.  With  findings  from  this  pilot  phase  we  are  well  positioned  to  make  some  break-­ throughs  in  the  future  phase,â&#x20AC;?

Franklin  said.

The  project  will  test  baclofenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  effects  on  the  brainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  response  to  reminders  to  drink  alcohol.  Alcohol-­related  reminders  (or  cues)  can  elicit  subjective  craving,  which  often  precipitates  relapse.  The  study  will  be  conducted  in  individuals  who  are  heavy  drink-­ ers  and/or  who  have  been  diag-­ nosed  with  alcohol  use  disorder.  FAR  is  the  only  public  orga-­ nization  targeting  research  into  effective  medical  treatments  for  alcohol  use  disorder.  This  is  the Â

The  Foundation  for  Alcoholism  Research  is  an  all-­volunteer  501(c)3  nonprofit  organiza-­ tion  founded  in  2008  to  raise  and  distribute  funds  to  perform  research  in  the  areas  of  causes,  identification,  detection,  preven-­ tion,  treatment,  control,  and  cure  of/for  alcoholism.

The  folks  at   the  Parent/Child  Center  believe  that  all  parents  want  to  be  good  parents.  Sometimes  they  just  need  help.  Staff  members  treat  everyone  who  walks  through  the  door  with  respect.  They  show  people  tools  that  work.  Whether  they  are  helping  a  family  in  crisis,  a  child  with  special  needs,  or  a  young  person  learning  to  parent  a  child,  the  staff  members  are  patient,  resilient  and  resourceful.  Our  county  is  tremendously  fortunate  to  have  the  Parent/Child  Center.
